Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

After what happened to Mr. Shi and his family, Liu Qingcao had no intention of digging fish ponds again.

She originally wanted to dig a fish pond behind Uncle Shi's house so that if something big happened, it could be used as a backup grain storage area.

But the woman stealing the horse made her suddenly change her mind. Yushun Village is different from Shihe Village. If she really wants to raise fish here, then she might be beaten by the thieves in the village before she can enter the city. It's over.

There are still differences between villages.

After Liu Qingcao caught a lot of fish in the pond in Yushun Village, he drove the carriage to Shunzhou Fucheng.

The owner behind Qiqiao Zhai hasn't been found out yet, so she has to go find out again.

As the carriage entered Fucheng, Liu Qingcao did not go to Qiqiao Zhai, but went to teahouses and restaurants.

These two places are good places. If you want to inquire about any news, they are the most suitable.

Liu Qingcao went to the bun shop and bought a dozen large buns and a dozen steamed buns, and then she walked to the restaurant.

Although the capital of Shunzhou is prosperous, there are many low-class people, and of course there are many beggars.

There are seven or eight beggars leaning against the wall outside every restaurant, including men, women, and children.

Liu Qingcao walked over carrying a large basket of things, and was immediately stared at by the beggars in the corner.

Liu Qingcao saw them squatting in the corner neatly, with only their eyes moving, and all the worries they had when they came were instantly forgotten.

There were eleven beggars in this group, and the man who looked the strongest and best-dressed seemed to be the boss of the group.

Liu Qingcao walked to the beggar boss' door with a discerning eye, handed the basket to his door, and spoke in a warm voice.

"Brother, do you know who the owner of Qiqiao Zhai is?"

The beggar boss glanced at the basket in mid-air, but did not take it over. The beggars around him looked at the basket in Liu Qingcao's hand eagerly, trying hard to control their saliva from flowing out from the corners of their mouths.

They looked at the beggar boss, then at the basket, and suppressed the urge to rush forward.

If the boss doesn't move, they will wait quietly.

Liu Qingcao knelt down, raised an innocent smile on his young and bright face, and looked at the silent and serious man opposite.

The cold eyes of the beggar boss stirred the ink-colored ice edges, and the cold eyes seemed to pounce into Liu Qingcao's heart, trying to see through her.

Liu Qingcao was stunned for a moment when he saw him, and she managed to keep a smile so as not to flinch.

This person was very weird and difficult to get along with. She just wanted to find out some information, and she sincerely brought a meeting gift. He shouldn't be so unkind to her!

Liu Qingcao waited like this for a long time without getting an answer, so she decided not to waste time on him.

This person was not mute, and was obviously wary of what she asked. Since he didn't want to say it, it wasn't a good idea for her to waste her time here.

"Excuse me." Liu Qingcao put down the basket, turned around and walked towards the carriage.

She originally bought these things to find out about Qiqiao Zhai. Although she didn't find out, she had no intention of taking back the basket of things.

Junfeng took two steps in the direction of Liu Qingcao. Liu Qingcao came closer and touched his head, then stepped on the carriage frame and walked up.

The beggar couldn't do it here, so he had to change places and ask again. Liu Qingcao disappeared in front of the beggars and drove the carriage to the tea house.

The beggars behind him showed no emotion at Liu Qingcao's departure. They swallowed their saliva and looked at the man in front of the basket, just waiting for him to say something about sharing their food.

The man lowered his eyes, and when he raised them again, his eyes were calm again.

"Take it and eat it." The man's voice was cold, without any fluctuations.

Then all the beggars stepped forward one by one, each picked up a steamed bun and went back to the wall to devour it.

But the man stood up from the ground and walked in the opposite direction.

……

Teahouse.

Liu Qingcao entered the teahouse lobby wearing men's clothes and with her hair standing straight.

People in the lobby were chatting and laughing, listening quietly, or running quickly. They were all different colors, poor, rich, and diverse, but they were chatting happily. "What would this guest have to drink? The waiter will bring it to you." The waiter quickly ran to Liu Qingcao's table and asked respectfully.

"A cup of Longjing, a plate of dried meat, and a plate of mung bean cake." Liu Qingcao lowered her voice and tried to make her voice sound hoarse.

After hearing this, the waiter turned around and went to the counter. After a while, he came over with a tea bowl and refreshments.

Liu Qingcao watched him brewing, then said a few words of congratulations and left. Seeing that he was so busy, she had no intention of asking him to stay now.

Although the tea house is noisy, it is a place to enjoy life, everyone talks about recent events.

Liu Qingcao listened attentively, filtering useful information from their words.

"Brother Wang, why did you change the pastry today?" The man wearing a jade crown asked doubtfully while holding a piece of pastry.

Opposite the man with the jade crown sat a man holding a fan. He looked distressed, sighed secretly, and then shook his head helplessly, "Qiqiao Zhai put up a sold out sign early today. I don't know if it was such a big deal from that family. "

"What!? Bought it all?" The jade-crowned man's breath froze, and then he shouted in surprise with his eyes wide open. His voice was so loud that it made several tables of tea drinkers around him turn their heads.

The man with the jade crown knew that he was a little excited, so he smiled at them and asked again, "Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true. What am I trying to coax you to do?" The man holding the fan shook off the fan blades, and most of the annoyance on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of indifference.

The man with the jade crown was silent for a while, then looked to the other side and asked doubtfully, "Which mansion in Fucheng is hosting a wedding banquet recently?"

"Wedding banquet?" The man holding the fan thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up and his voice rose twice, "The old lady of the Shi family seems to be celebrating her seventieth birthday in the near future."

"The Shi family? It seems there are still three days. This pastry should not have been bought by the Shi family." A trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of the man with the jade crown.

The Shi family has some wealth, but pastries cost thousands of taels of silver, and the Shi family doesn't have the ability.

The man holding the fan nodded slightly, and felt that what he said was right. If the Shi family bought this pastry, it would be too early. If it wasn't the Shi family, who could it be?

If someone with such a big deal is not from Fucheng, he must be from a wealthy family. If he can make a deal with this person, he will have a bit of leverage in front of his brothers in the clan.

It's just that it's not yet known whether this person is still in Fucheng or not.

"Brother Li, what are you thinking about, so lost in thought?" The man with the jade crown took a sip of tea, thought about it in his mouth, and looked at the distracted man holding the fan with a smile.

The man holding the fan came to his senses, shook the fan, and laughed to cover up his gaffe.

"Brother Wang, don't be surprised. I just remembered the owner of Qiqiao Zhai. He really makes me confused a lot."

But this is also true. He heard his father mention that the owner of Qiqiao Zhai had opened this shop in less than two years in this unfamiliar city, and the price was still high. Not cheap to sell.

It's just that this owner, according to his father's wishes, seems to be a woman, and a young woman at that.

It is not uncommon for him to see women doing business, but if they want to achieve Qiqiaozhai, the difficulties can be imagined.

The man with the jade crown chuckled and did not agree with the man holding the fan.

This Qiqiao Zhai is just a snack, how can it be compared with the livelihood of their Wang family, not to mention that the person behind this Qiqiao Zhai is only a woman.

When the man holding the fan saw that he looked down upon Qiqiao Zhai, he couldn't help but shake his head. The Wang family was so powerful that it was not surprising that he looked down on a small dim sum shop. But if he couldn't see clearly the methods of the owner of Qiqiao Zhai, then he was a little too arrogant. big.

Liu Qingcao sat aside and listened carefully. When they were about to hear the key point, both of them actually closed their mouths.

"..."

Liu Qingcao curled her lips speechlessly, picked up a piece of mung bean cake and bit into half of it. It melted in your mouth. The fragrant and dense texture made people feel tired. However, this mung bean cake was still not as good as Qiqiaozhai's mung bean cake. It was still a little less interesting. .

Liu Qingcao finished the plate of pastries. The two men had already paid for the tea and stood up to walk out. She looked at them for a while but had no intention of following them.

These two people looked like they were not ordinary people through their clothes. If they stepped forward rashly, they would probably cause trouble for themselves.

After thinking about it again and again, Liu Qingcao decided to ask the waiter. If something can be done with money, why not use it?

Liu Qingcao put the tea bowl cover on the bowl, and after a while, the waiter trotted over with tea.

Half a quarter of an hour later, after Liu Qingcao learned what he knew, he gave the money and left the teahouse.

Not long after he went out, he met the man with the jade crown and the man holding a fan lingering at the entrance of Qiqiao Zhai. Liu Qingcao took a quick look at them and drove the carriage to the inn without stopping too much.

After the fruits were sold out, I went back to pick them and experienced the pain and joy of picking. However, compared with picking peppers, picking fruits was not that easy.
